MC is so 1 dimensional that I could probably use him as tracing paper. This is honestly a weird criticism from me since I usually love Manwha power fantasy stories, even with the dumbest most self-serving MCs but it honestly feels like there's nothing to this MC. He's lacking less than the typical anti-hero/villain protagonists of the genre in terms of overall character. His reasons for liking villains is pretty fleshed out in one scene but then we get to the heroes...

Why does he dislike heroes? They're goody two shoes? What heroes is he talking about? Flash once sentenced a dude to an eternity of torture, allowing him to think, feel and see in real time but forcing his body to slowdown so much it takes him 100 years to blink. Superman threatened to murk Joker on sight if he ever stepped foot in Metropolis, after heat raying his sides. Spider-Man beat Kingpin to near death just out of vengeful spite. We don't even talk about the X-Men. Like is that it? That they TRY to do more good things more than bad? Is it really that superficial?

They're embarrassing? How? Say how, my dude. Like at least make up some heroes for your universe and use them as examples of smug bastards who need to be taken down a notch.

I'm sure the author is going to fix all of this retroactively so overall this is nothing more than a minor gripe but man this chapter just didn't hit the spot I was looking for.

I totally get you here. I for one am interested and want to see where this is going, but it definitely seems like he wants to be a villain for the fun of it rather than any compelling reason. I hope this does get fleshed out.
